First Workstation Build. HELP!

Hi all!

I'm building my first video editing PC for my cousin. I have bought most of the parts.

I need to buy the video card but still don't know which is the best option for her budget.

I was thinking if GeForce GTX 760 2GB it's the right choice. It justifies spending a few bucks more for the 4GB version?

It will be used mostly for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

Any recommendation will be appreciated.

No more suggestions? 

how much is the R9 280 in your country?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I buy from newegg and my courier in Miami send me to my country.

I have understood that NVidia is better for Adobe premiere pro and rendering...

Adobe have support for AMD cards using OpenCL

 

and the R9 280 is slightly faster for the same price as the GTX760

I think I'm going to buy ASUS ROG STRIKER GTX760 4GB

NO, DON'T, Asus's ROG branded GPU are much more expensive, get an evga SC ACX 760

 

Nvm the 4GB version they cost the same
